FOSS (Field Operation Support System) is the system used by Immigration/CBSA in Canada to record all the actions taken on client in Canada or entering Canada. CAIPS (Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System) is used by Immigration offices overseas for processing cases. Overseas offices have access to FOSS and Canadian offices have access to CAIPS.ali786leo said:Hi john
thx for your reply I got your point I checked the FSW I qualify in that scheme but when I will apply in FSW scheme will my that application will be affected by previous application .
I have checked CAIPS and I found this thing <FOSS> is a central database of applications which is used in this case to verify that the applicant has not been refused a visa from other visa post .
FOSS CHECK:NO RECORD OF APPLICANT(S)OTHER THAN OF THIS CURRENT APPLICATION IN PROCESS.
when I will make new application so the previous application will come up on their system and showed that i got resfued.
can u clear my this confusion.

Your old refusal will be in CAIPS and probably downloaded to FOSS. Sydney will check CAIPS but if they approve for further processing, the overseas office will look at the previous refusal. They definitely will check your new application against your old one.ali786leo said:Hi PMM
